OUTREACH NOTICE
Chief of Staff to support the first National Nature Assessment

U.S. Geological Survey & U.S. Global Change Research Program

GS 13 (Term) Biological Scientist/Physical Scientist/Social Scientist

Remote, Full Time


At the request of the Biden administration (Executive Order 14072<https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2022/04/27/2022-09138/strengthening-the-nations-forests-communities-and-local-economies>), the USGCRP has initiated the production of the first National Nature Assessment (NNA). The NNA will assess the present and future conditions of America's lands, waters, and ecosystems and the benefits they provide, including connections to the economy, public health, equity, climate mitigation and adaptation, and national security. The NNA will consider nature in U.S. states, marine areas (exclusive economic zone), territories, Native or Indigenous lands and waters, and other affiliated areas (as appropriate), as well as its significant interactions with global changes.

The Chief of Staff will support the NNA Director in leading participants towards the vision, mission, and goals articulated by the USGCRP's Subcommittee on Global Change Research (SGCR) and the National Nature Assessment's Federal Steering Committee. This will facilitate the multi-agency cooperation needed to produce the NNA.

The best qualified NNA Chief of Staff candidate will:

  *   Have substantial experience providing support to executive leadership and executing complex, multi agency, multi-disciplinary science programs.
  *   Know how to organize human, financial, and information resources strategically.
  *   Be able to build and maintain coalitions internally and externally to achieve common goals across the U.S. Government and with a wide range of public and non-governmental audiences.
  *   Have a strong understanding of how changes in the environment and biodiversity affect natural Earth systems and interact with other stressors that result in profound environmental changes at local, regional, and global scales.
